Aubrey Lynn

She is our 3rd great grandchild and our very first great granddaughter!

Aubrey is an important part of this large family.

and an important part of this smaller, large family.

and an even more important part of this even smaller, but still large, family.

So yesterday I conducted a little phone interview with Aubrey. Here's how it went:

Hi Aubrey! Hi Grandma!

Did you have a happy birthday? Yes

How old are you now? 4

Wow that's getting big isn't it? Yeah

Did you do anything special for your birthday? Yes

What did you do. We went to Chuck E. Cheese's

Was that fun? Yes What did you like best about it? I was sitting in a car and Chuck E. Cheese was sitting next to me.

Did everybody sing happy birthday to you? Yeah

Did you get a present? We're going to Toys R Us to pick out a present tonight.

Do you know what kind of present you're going to pick out? Mommy and Daddy are going to get me some Barbies.

Do you like having 3 brothers? Yes

What's best about it? At bedtime Daddy always reads Jack and Dane's library books to us.

How do you like having a little sister? Ummm. A lot.

Are you a good helper for Mommy? Yeah

What do you do? Ummm, I help her take care of Emma.

What's your favorite color? Pink..... and Purple.

What's your favorite animal? Polar Bear

Why do you like it best? Because I have a stuffed animal polar bear.

What's your favorite game to play? I like playing catch with Wade.

Do you feel older and bigger now that you're four? Yes I do feel bigger but I don't feel older.

Is there anything else you can tell us that we haven't talked about? Yes....ummmmmm...I can sing.

What else? I like Flokie! (Flokie is the family dog.)

AndI like to have Mommy fix my hair.

And that pretty well concluded our interview. But, as usual, there are lots more things I'd love to say about Aubrey. She's one of the sweetest, kindest, most loving little girls you could ever know. She's helpful to her Daddy.

She helps her grandma by feeding the fish.

She's protective and loving to her little sister. And really does help Mommy take care of her.

She does love to play with Wade.

And she's smart, generous, and just a little bit shy.

So we know she had a great birthday and we're looking forward to our own celebration with her very soon. And of course we're wishing our beautiful great granddaughter a year filled with growth, happiness, and love!

Happy Birthday, Aubrey.....just a little late.

(And as usual the most beautiful pictures were either staged or taken by Beth Fletcher Photography)

My passions include my family and taking and organizing pictures of them and everything else I think is picture-worthy. I have been married for 49 years to my best friend and with six of the world's best children, 20 grandchildren, and 6 great grandchildren, I've been blessed beyond measure. I'm fairly active, recently retired, trying to learn to golf, and hope to remain active enough and busy enough to make these sunset years some of the best years of my life.
